Caramel Apple Pies

November 16, 2020

We have a small, wonky apple tree in the garden with three different apple varieties grafted into one, so it’s a Bramley-Cox-Russet tree. Except it’s minus its Bramley bit because that branch snapped off during heavy snow one Winter, so I have to get our Bramley supplies from Grandad’s tree. This year, as if desperately […]

Coconut Pudding with Mango Salsa

April 14, 2019

Watching Jamie Oliver cook a coconut and mango rice pudding TV this week made me really fancy a creamy, coconutty rice pudding. Then I remembered I had my own recipe developed for a magazine article way back in 2015. My document and photo hoarding has finally paid off, as here it is in its four-year-old […]

A chocolate Orange alternative to Christmas Pudding that cooks in 6 minutes not 6 hours!

Oat and Date Squares

May 29, 2018

One of our attempts at recreating a much loved school dinner offering, from memory.

Simple Bread and Butter Pudding

January 20, 2014

I toyed with adding any number of random things to sex up this recipe, but this is how I remember it, so this is how it stays.

Caramel Apple Tarts

March 11, 2013

These were destined to be apple and ginger, but they became caramel apple tarts and I can't see anyone complaining.

Chocolate Cheesecakes

October 14, 2012

I know that all you want to do really is look at pictures of chocolate cheesecake. I aim to please.

Brandy Christmas Pudding Pops

December 9, 2011

Have you had enough of cake pops yet? I think I have. But I decided to share these anyway. I know how you like it when baking goes bad. I had good intentions. I decided to make them for a New Years Eve party and I thought I could make good use of a McVities […]

Let’s Make Christmas (Pudding)

November 14, 2011

I am heading down (or is it up?) to London on Friday for the ‘Let’s Make Christmas’ Blogger Gift Swap at Fortnum and Mason arranged by Vanessa Kimbell. Each year my Mum used to take me Christmas shopping in London on the train. We finished the day at the theatre watching something like West Side […]

Sweet Coconut Milk Risotto

October 20, 2011

The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder. It makes me want to hibernate. Failing that I want to light the fire, curl up under a blanket and eat something like this. This is the creamiest of puddings. It’s made with coconut milk, nothing desiccated in here, that would jar with the texture. […]

These Foolish Things

July 11, 2011

Why I have never made a fool before I don't know. Light, tangy, sweet, fruity, creamy, easy, beautiful.

Not-so-mini Pavlovas

May 19, 2011

I have always, always loved pavlova. I think it stems from my delight at the frozen ones bought from the Cash & Carry back in the 70’s. A raspberry pavlova was the height of chic in those days, even though my Mum used to forget to get it out of the freezer so we ended up […]

Brandy Butter

December 23, 2010

Do you think of Brandy Butter as a bit odd? Or does it take you back to childhood Christmases and nicking spoonfuls out of the fridge? I’m in the latter category. In fact I only ever remember surreptitiously eating spoonfuls of it when no one was looking as I have never been a fan of […]

Bramble Crumble

August 22, 2010

It started with these berries. Found this little lot just at the end of the garden, sneaking over the fence. They were so gorgeous we had to pick them. Found these plums. They were destined to be together. And a few raspberries too…just because. Added a crumble topping. 25 minutes in a hot oven It’s […]
